Parental
involvement is vitally important and necessary to the life of the
school. We see it as building a partnership between parents, children
and teachers, while supporting the faith and values we share as common
beliefs.

Galilee Catholic School and the community work together to ensure the
children receive the best possible education in a strong family
atmosphere. A number of Parent Committees are formed to ensure this
collaboration, as well as social events throughout the year to foster community.

Principal's Advisory Council

The Principal's Advisory Council (PAC) is composed of a number of
parent representatives as well as the Parish Priest, the Principal and
the Assistant Principal. The PAC meets twice a term to assist the school
in achieving its goals through the encouragement of social interaction,
participation in educational programs, and fundraising.

Fundraising

The parent community makes a significant financial contribution each
year to the School through fund raising. The Parent Fund Raising
Committee works with the Principal to discuss and evaluate various ideas
and activities for fund raising and social events. The money raised is
used specifically to update and expand the school's resources to enhance
the children's learning.

There is a strong focus on social interaction and being welcomed into the Community through fund raising and social events.

Class Parents

Each class is represented by two or three class parents. Class
parents are responsible for organising specific fundraisers allocated to
their grade, social outings and communication among class families
and the school.

Class parents are a valuable asset to our Galilee community as they encourage a friendly and inclusive environment.

Skoolbag App

In order to keep our parents and community up to date with the latest news, Galilee now has the Skoolbag Mobile App.

Skoolbag provides schools with an easy way to tell parents/carers everything they need to know, and it provides parents with the most convenient way to receive school notifications.

No more lost paper in student school bags! School newsletters, school notices and alerts are communicated directly to the parent smartphone through the Skoolbag school Mobile App.

Skoolbag is a school Mobile App that communicates directly with iPhone, iPad, Android, and Windows Phones devices. There is a link to download the app in the quick links tab of this website.
